That love was something you gave.

I used 2 think That love was something you gave.

By speaking my love language 

my tank would be full, 

and I would have love to give.

I used to think that others give love,

but if they didn't fill my bucket, 

then my bucket would then be empty!

That you give your heart to the person of your dreams, 

But if that doesn't work as planned 

your heart is broken.

Now what?

Some respond with

I am afraid to love again.

What is love? 

Google it and you will find a million answers.

But the answer to the search is found within.

What is love?

My response. 

Love is.

Love is like the light that is all around us.

Sometimes I see it , sometimes I feel it

I always know that it is there.

If I give it I won't have any less.

If I don't feel it at times

that doesn't mean it isn't there.

Now I think that love is 

and I chose to receive 

and to share.

"You will ever only have two choices: love or fear. Choose love and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.” Jim Carey

I used 2 think: That my little sister would always be there.

I used 2 think

That my little sister would always be there.

As this past summer wound down, once again we didn't make it over for a swim, I thought

Next summer.

As the Christmas season approached in all its busyness, I thought

Next week.

As I would help people who have disabilities, I'd see things for my sister and think,

Next month.

Every time I sing a song to the little boy in my house, remember singing to my sister and think,

Next visit.

Then she took her last breathe.

No longer here,

To swim with

To walk with

To learn with

To sing with.

Yet I know, that whenever I do these things

My little sister will always be here

In my heart.
